Christopher was a 3rd century Christian and a "carrier" by trader. This meant that his job was to take goods and people safely across rivers that had no bridge. Legend has it that one day a young child asked if he could be carried. Christopher was overwhelmed by the weight of the child, but pressed on. Christopher discovered that the child was actually Jesus bearing the weight of the world. Feast Day: July 25 Patronage: Coast Guard, drivers, surfers, swimmers, travelers Show more
